Committee on Infectious Diseases

The Committee on Infectious Diseases is a group of medical experts, often within organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics, who review and set guidelines for preventing, diagnosing, and treating infectious diseases in children. They analyze current research, track disease outbreaks, and provide recommendations on vaccines, hygiene practices, and other health measures. Their work helps healthcare providers, public health officials, and families make informed decisions to protect children's health from contagious illnesses.
